The concubine is often difficult to mess with: Prince, please make way

Chapter 25 Two fathers and sons on the road
The weather has been fine for several days, and the road looks a little dry. The carriage ran on it, making a "gurgling" sound, and a cloud of dust flew up behind it, blocking the thoughts of people on the road who wanted to spy on the faces of the people inside the carriage.

Not long after he came out, Jin Jiuying heard footsteps on the side of the road. She opened the curtain with jade hands and looked out from the window of the carriage. It might be a father and son, both dressed plainly, with their trouser legs and sleeves rolled up a few times. The man was carrying a pair of baskets, which contained some vegetables and fruits.

The child followed, and also carried a cloth bag. I don't know what he put in it. It was bulging like some kind of fruit.

The father and son Jin Jiuying knew each other, the man was called Zhuang Ding, and the son was called Tietou, and he was the one who delivered food to the officials and eunuchs. He was in charge of almost all the firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea in the Jin family's kitchen, and he was very down-to-earth.

That kid is even more likable. Every time he comes over, he will keep yelling at Jin Jiuying, "Sister, sister..." Tietou has no mother. I heard that he dislikes his father for being too useless and unable to support the family. The man ran away, leaving Tietou to live with his father, so the strong man could only take him with him wherever he went.

Jin Jiuying sees him as pitiful, and will occasionally give him some extra silver. Of course, she will ask the strong man to give it to him if she wants any fruit, so that he can earn a few more copper coins. Jin Jiuying can only help them so much No, because she doesn't have much silver.

Jin Zhe is a very stingy person, and he gave her mother less than three taels of silver for a month, and she naturally gave less for a month.

Only Jin Jiumei, mother and son had relatively good money. Her father gave them almost two-thirds of her monthly salary of tens of taels, and half of the remaining third was shared by Jin Zhe himself for emergencies. The rest was spent by dozens of other people in the house.

Jin Jiuying's elder brother was born to Jin Jiumei's mother. Compared with Jin Jiumei and her mother, he is not as annoying as they are, but he is an absolute dude, that is, he knows how to spend money. How much do you want to give him? month, you can use the overdraft in less than a day.

Jin Jiumei and her mother will also toss and spend a lot of money on rouge and water powder in a month. These two people have fully proved the saying that you are beautiful and you can afford it. Both of them have good looks, but they Dad spent most of the money on them.

Jin Jiuying's mother was originally known as the number one beauty in Shengyuan, but it's a pity that she's too economical, doesn't like makeup, plus this kind of family affairs, she has been bullied at the house, and she is getting old quickly, so she only needs that little silver in a month , and would still be reluctant to use it, saying that they would buy Jin Jiuying a dowry.

Seeing that she cared so much about her, Jin Jiuying couldn't tell her that she was not her daughter, let alone tell her that she wanted to escape from here and would not marry Ye Zhaoyang.

Although the dream will wake up sooner or later, it is good to have it for a while, even if it is fake.

So if she wants to help the father and son, she can only find another way by herself.

The strong man sent food to the officials and family members for a month, running up and down this road every day, which was enough for them to have a full meal, but the strong man really wanted to have a good future for Tietou and wanted to find him He is a master, can read some words, and will get a name in the exam in the future, so he won't have to live like him in the future.

But with his negligible income, food is a problem, and it is not enough to save money. In order to let him earn more money, Jin Jiuying asked Ye Zhaoyang for help, and asked the strong man to choose some good dishes and send them to the palace every day.

There are requirements for the procurement of ingredients in the palace, but as long as they meet their requirements, the price is higher than sending them to the officials. In fact, they are all vegetables grown in the ground. , It's not bad to send it for a try.

Because of Jin Jiuying's introduction, the father and son became hand-picked food deliverers of the palace without a hitch, which made them very grateful to Jin Jiuying.

Especially that child, if you have any good things, you must leave some for her.

"Iron head..." Jin Jiuying opened the curtain a little, excitedly wanting to call the father and son, but before they could call out, Ye Mo covered her mouth, hugged her waist, and dragged her into the room. In the carriage.

"What are you doing?" After Jin Jiuying sat down, she broke away from Ye Mo's hand and yelled at him angrily.

"If you don't want to die, then don't waste my efforts to help you." Ye Mo lowered his voice, whispering in her ear, with a harsh tone, and at the same time opened a corner of the curtain, motioning her to look out.

Sure enough, there were several strangers following the strong man and his son outside. Judging from their slightly dark complexion, one could guess that they were Xue Yinfei's guards.

Only those frontier fortresses who are exposed to the wind and rain all year round can have such a complexion.

"Ye Mo, there is one thing I really can't figure out. Why is Xue Yinfei so bold and always trying to catch me?"

Glancing at the situation outside, Jin Jiuying finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Ye Mo the doubts in her heart.

Jin Jiuying was controlled by Ye Mo, and when she was helping him to check some things, she also secretly checked a lot of things about him, so she naturally knew that he was not rumored to be so indifferent to national affairs.

On the contrary, what he knows, cares about and manages is far more than those ministers in the court, and even the current sage Ye Zhi.

"I don't care about the affairs of the court, and I don't know Xue Yinfei, so I don't know what you are talking about."

Ye Mo didn't say anything, and even denied knowing Xue Yinfei.

This was a bit beyond Jin Jiuying's expectations, but he didn't care too much, after all, he didn't want people to know too many secrets about Ye Mo.

"Don't lie to me. Others don't know who you are, Ye Mo, but I, Jin Jiuying, know that you are not going to the court. It was Bu himself who came forward to investigate, but there is nothing that can fool you." Jin Jiuying was a little unhappy.

For other things, maybe if he didn't say anything, she would just ignore it, but this matter is too strange, and the most important thing is that it concerns her.

"Don't rely on the name of the princess, there is no big or small, don't forget, this king is the uncle of the prince, don't keep calling me by my name."

Ye Mo didn't answer Jin Jiuying's words, but instead pursued the matter of Jin Jiuying calling him by his name.

Jin Jiuying knew very well that he was deliberately changing the subject and didn't want to answer her question. As for his name, she always called him directly.

If there were no outsiders, she would never call him the prince. This is not a matter of respect, but Jin Jiuying is not used to these titles, and it is easy to call him.

"Okay, Ninth Prince, you have a noble status, and you can't afford to offend your niece and wife." Jin Jiuying was angry, and didn't want to ask him again.

This Ye Mo is actually not much older than Ye Zhaoyang, just a senior generation, but Ye Zhaoyang usually respects him, much more polite than Jin Jiuying.
